When money is focused into the hands of a few, when it is easier to gain by criminal means, when money is power, the world will fall into a dystopia.
Humans tell stories to solve problems at the community level, thus a world in which dystopia and horror are popular should be seen as the danger flag it is.
We evolved with storytelling to keep individuals, society and our environment safe. They are part of how we developed empathy, cooperation and sustainability. Thus a world which is obsessed with dystopia and horror stories has deep problems that require attention and fixing. The stories are talking about our problems indirectly in the language of dreams and emotions. Science and politics does so directly. We need to put these puzzle pieces together so we can unite these processes of the brain and start making saner choices for the world.
The money-nexus world self navigates into a dystopia; the love-nexus world self navigates into a utopia - hell or heaven - this is our choice.
